Looking Like Me
Walter Dean Myers

We think that the theme is be yourself. We think that because Jeremy is doing his normal things and is being complimented. In the book he talks about all the features of himself. Everyone compliments him so much he makes a list about all the things he is. He's being himself so people are respecting him for who he is. He is getting compliments for who he is not what he has or does.

He is a great dancer so he is being himself. His teacher says he's a writer and that's a fact about himself. In the book grandma said "your an artist! And she said that because it's a nice thing about Jeremy. The mail man said "your a city child. And that's how you are.

The message makes us think that no matter what we should be ourselves.

Tacky the Penguin
Helen Lester

I think the theme is be yourself. I think this because Tacky wasn't "ordinary/perfect" and that was okay. This is because when the Hunters came that "not ordinariness" saved him and the other Penguins. The Hunters were looking for "Perfect Penguins" and Tacky did things that weren't "Perfect." Also the other Penguins joined in and saved them from being captured. Tacky was himself when the Hunters came and it saved them. Also the other Penguins helped a bit. This message makes me think be unique, it's okay to be unique.
